Abstract

An LED lamp (10) and a method of making an LED lamp (10) in which the lamp includes a heat conductive post (12) with slots in an exterior of the post, and in which a separate LED assembly is inserted into each of the slots, where each of the LED assemblies has a substrate (42) with an LED (22) at a first end thereof, which is inserted into the slot first, and an electrical conductor (30) that extends from the LED (22) to a second end of the substrate. The electrical conductor (30) is connected to a circuit board (28) that is inside a hollow bottom of the post (12). A reflector (18) and heat sink (20) are attached to the bottom of the post (12).
